shaggy Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 After a foot of rain in July at my house August has been steady but not as bountiful. With that said we are still getting big rains and i'm up to around 6-7 inches(depends on what I got from todays big storm) and a few days of rain left in the month means that total is only going to go up.

jburns Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 Another bean in the jar this morning. 11 foggy mornings so far this month in Cullowhee. Under the new global warming edition of southern folklore guidelines, this means you now have a 50% chance of seeing at least 11 flakes this winter.

dsaur Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 Under the new global warming edition of southern folklore guidelines, this means you now have a 50% chance of seeing at least 11 flakes this winter. I saw a picture of the train station on top of Jungfrau recently. In the 60's you walked out the door and onto the snow, in the middle of summer. Now you walk out the door to a 50' drop, it looks like I expect they'll be finding things in the snowless Alps now, that will make the Ice Man look like a curiousity. And, I'm slightly curious as to why I've had 6 rainless days now. Must be because all the concentration is on the hurricane. T Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GaWx Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 Meanwhile, Charleston, SC is getting hammered late this morning Wow, I just talked to my brother-in-law and he was right in the middle of this in downtown CHS, where he lives. He almost got stuck several times in his car. Twice, he was forced to go the wrong way on one way streets to avoid getting stuck. He saw people kayaking downtown. This was about as bad a flooding event in downtown CHS as he could recall in recent years. He said that as bad as it was, it could have been worse had it been high tide. The tide was actually near dead low when the heaviest rain fell. Downtown got ~4" within about a three hour period! This was at least indirectly related to Isaac, even though it was located in the Gulf almost to LA, whose large circulation brought in copious amount so moisture from off of the Atlantic. From the NWS at 1:06 PM: ...A FLASH FLOOD WARNING REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 230 PM EDT FOR SOUTH CENTRAL BERKELEY AND CENTRAL CHARLESTON COUNTIES... THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. AT 105 PM EDT...RADAR INDICATED VERY HEAVY RAINFALL CONTINUING TO FALL ACROSS THE WARNED AREA. RADAR RAINFALL ESTIMATES AND COCORAHS OBSERVERS INDICATE THAT WIDESPREAD RAINFALL AMOUNTS OF 3 TO 5 INCHES HAS FALLEN IN MUCH OF THE WARNED AREA SINCE 10 AM...WITH LOCAL AMOUNTS LIKELY WELL IN EXCESS OF 6 INCHES. REPORTS FROM LOCAL MEDIA...LAW ENFORCEMENT AND THE PUBLIC INDICATE NUMEROUS ROADS FLOODED AND IMPASSIBLE IN DOWNTOWN CHARLESTON AS WELL AS PARTS OF WEST ASHLEY AND MOUNT PLEASANT. IN ADDITION...THERE HAVE BEEN DOZENS OF PEOPLE RESCUED FROM THEIR VEHICLES AND A REPORT OF WATER ENTERING THE LOBBY OF THE STERN CENTER AT THE COLLEGE OF CHARLESTON.

From the NWS at 1:06 PM: The radar returns down that way were pretty intense during that period. I was hoping it'd come this way! But yeah, those streets in CHS are crazy and I always make some one else drive on a Sunny day for sure. By any chance was he located around the Battery's seawall? I bet that looked amazing.

Solak Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 Isaac's distant plume didn't make it this far North, and that strong line of storms sagging South with the front went 'poof' overnight. Nothing to show for yesterday/overnight's 60-70% chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Met1985 Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 Looks like we could see our first real push of cool fall weather the next week or so. Like griteater has said trough in the east and ridge in the west. The NAO is going negative at this time also so this looks legit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
